The New Orleans Saints have compiled a roster of stars set to be one of the best teams in the NFL in 2020 — if they want to be.

The New Orleans Saints ended last year on a low note. They ended up not getting a bye week in the playoffs and had to play in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. They found the Minnesota Vikings as sparring partners in that game.

The Vikings ended up beating the Saints in overtime with a Kirk Cousins to Kyle Rudolph touchdown. That one catch knocked the Saints out of the playoffs ending what was suppose to be a Super Bowl type of year.

A low end to the season though led to a great offseason. The Saints fixed their wide receiver problem by signing ex-49er Emmanuel Sanders who was arguably the best receiver on the free-agent market. They also added several additions for every player who exited.

Because of the team that they retained and the players that they added, the Saints are once again set up to be one of the best teams in the 2020 season. There are, however, several players on the Saints roster who will be irreplaceable this season.

The word irreplaceable, according to the dictionary, means impossible to replace if lost or damaged. These players are just that to the team if they, due to injury or something else, are lost or damaged. Here are the five of them.
